Dog friendly!
Sue W.

Great little bar and tavern in Pine. They are super nice and dog friendly. Service was a bit slow, however they were busy so just seemed a bit understaffed. Food was good and they have a great selection of items on the menu.

Cobb Salad

Great atmosphere, clean, plenty of TV's, and great food! Will definitely be back next time we're in town.

Salad

After a really great meal here earlier this year, we returned & were so disappointed. Hate when that happens! We went with the deviled eggs again & gotta say, they are hands down the best deviled eggs anywhere. Salads were also still good, but it only went downhill from there. The french dip was not great, altho the side potatoes with it were. We absolutely loved the pork nachos last time & were all really looking forward to having them again, but they came out cold with little to no cheese on them. The meat , little cheese & bbq sauce was completely cold tho. This was nothing like how they made them on our first visit. We asked for a new plate, warm with some cheese & after a good 15 mins, at which point we were done eating, they finally brought the same plate out, reheated, which would have been fine, but it took so long & now the chips were all brown & overcooked as well. They really should have made a new plate. The service was night and day difference, so welcoming & friendly last time, non existent this time. Needless to say, probably won't be returning. Would rather throw something together at home.

Rings

Really good meal. We started with cocktails and the Old Fashioned was very good and the sip I had of the Mule was very good as well. Our starters were the rings, tasty, and the Wings. The hot sauce was great and the crispy wings were excellent. My wife got the dip. Very solid sandwich. My bite came late, so it may have been even better when it was hot. I got the pastrami burger. Very tasty. Overall a very good meal.

old nachos reheated

We are residents of Pine and have eaten here a few times. Food and service has been decent and didn't have big expectations. tonight took two friends in tonight and have nothing good to say. nothing they were busy but not packed. plenty of staff but NOT one of the servers were friendly or accommodating. Our server didn't even bring straws for our water until after the first appetizer was served. deviled eggs . pretty good but not spectacular ordered nachos and prime sandwich and two salads eggs came, sandwich came, salads came. no check in from server. nachos came. cold, no cheese and gross asked another server to get us another plate of nachos that and were HOT and had cheese she rolled her eyes, took our plate and said "i'll tell your server". News flash !!!! you represent the establishment YOU should apologize and immediately correct the situation!!! we finished all our other food and we're going to cancel the nachos but they came back out. It was our original order!!! threw it under the salamander (oven) took 15 minutes!! Sorry but you lost our vote to ever eat here again

Ole Blue
Christina Z.

Good spot for a burger if you're looking for a pub vibe or stopping in for lunch. There's a classic style burger and multiple specialty burger options - all come with your choice of fries, coleslaw, macaroni salad, or potato salad or an up charge for sweet potato fries, onion rings, or side salad. I had the Tavern classic which comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. My husband had the Ole Blue which comes with blue cheese, bacon, and caramelized onions. Both burgers had a nice grilled char to them. The fries were pretty good as well. Recommend stopping by if you're wanting to grab a burger in the area.

There aren't many choices for food in Pine, but fortunately this is one of them. I've been here several times and the food and drinks are always good. The service is also super friendly and when it's warm enough the patio is dog friendly. I don't even have a preference to recommend or any to avoid because I've liked it all.

We've been coming here for years and have always had a great experience. Service is great. Ambiance is rustic modern. The food is so good. Everything we've tried. No complaint. One of our favorite places in Pine.

Our waitress was awesome and quick kitchen !! Delicious clean experience

Our waitress was awesome. Super nice about my custom chicken sandwich request and fast service. The food was hot crispy and delicious. Exceeding our expectations on size portion. It was delicious. The green chili fries were sooooo delicious! Our pastrami burger and chicken sandwich was also beyond our expectations for flavor and juicy tender meat. The bathrooms and tables were clean and the whole place just had a nice decor and charm to it. Kind of made we want to move there. Definitely will be returning to try more menu items

PBJ Burger
Alyssa W.

Our server Tyler was great. Seemed like he was the only one serving all the tables, but he was quick and made sure our drinks were full during the 40 minute wait for food. It was worth the wait though, some of the best burgers we've ever had! I got the PBJ - love the peanut butter. Jelly and bacon combo. I did take the lettuce, onion, and tomato off. I like those toppings but not on this burger. The French fries were incredible and so was the buttermilk ranch. My husband got the Cowboy and he really liked it.

Denise S.

My friend enjoys the fish and chips. My BLT had a good amount of bacon, but I prefer hot bacon since the contrast of hot bacon and cold T&L is part of the appeal. Also disliked being charged more than what is on the menu ($15 on menu and $17 on my bill). To go cobbler tasted good when warmed, but seemed to be the last scoop and NOT visually appealing.

Wings
Allison C.

Great service, ambiance, and food! 10/10 would recommend the wings. The pulled pork sandwich was also delicious. Don't forget the sweet potato fries!

Dirty Fries, and the pretzel sampler with andouille

Great service , and huge tasty portions . Amazing flavor and great vibe. We will come back for sure. From Fountain Hills

A Yelp friend had reviewed this place, and I saw great reviews + photos so we decided to stop here. Since it was busy, we went to the Taproom portion and found a seat at the bar. We were immediately greeted and our waitress/bartender was super friendly. Due to them running out of chips and needing to do a fresh batch, our pizza arrived first and would be well after we ate half the pizza ready for a box. What We Ordered: - Amber: My boyfriend didn't care for this one, so he only had half. - Bottle of Coke: Always love versus fountain, especially if a place serves Pepsi products. Pairs perfect with a pie! - Buffalo Chips: These were okay, but a skip for us. We misinterpreted what they'd be like as we thought they'd have blue cheese crumbles and be drizzled with the sauce more like nachos. Felt a little odd to just dip them into the sauces. - The Burrata: STAR OF THE SHOW! I had my first pizza similar to this in NYC, and I had hoped to find another that served a pizza like this in Arizona. Not only does Old County Inn, but they made it better! This was phenomenal! Even took the leftovers and it is great cold for a snack! As I write this, I'm debating how to plan another visit up from Apache Junction! Loved all the artwork, even the ceiling was decorated! Definitely felt the small town charm, and enjoyed checking this place out. One of the favorite places we visited in Pine, Arizona!

We were seated quickly and started deciding what we were going to order; drinks came fairly quickly, my Moscow Mule was good and gingery, the others had the brewery's own ale beer. Our server Americus was absolutely wonderful: as usual I explained my severe allergy to peppers in general and specifically any type of chile. She went inside to consult their "allergy" food list and came back with what I could safely eat. She's the only person ever, here in AZ, to have gone and double-checked the various dishes to keep me safe. Thank you so much Americus :)) We shared the fried green beans - deliciously crispy :) - with the wasabi mayonnaise dip for them; also had the onion rings that were nice and crispy, and although tempting to get a second order of appetizers ....we decided to go on to the mains. Mine was the Patty Melt on rye and fries, cooked medium rare as I like it, with onions on the side, the other orders were the Whisky Bacon burger that was looking very good as well, and another diner had a big salad - not sure which TBH because I was busy eating ...oops! The evening was nice and the patio had a few dogs: Yes, it is dog friendly !! We left sated, with replenished growlers, and looking forward to next time.

From the upper lot cottages, it was only 0.1 miles away, so we booked for both convenience and being intrigued by the menu. What We Ordered (Night One): - Caprese: Beautifully seasoned and loved the freshness of the tomatoes. Definitely one of the best I've had in Arizona. - Clementine Spritz: Delightfully refreshing and a delicious orange flavor. How good was it? I'd end up ordering three across both meals. - Ritual Spritz (non-alcoholic): Our attentive server realized my boyfriend wasn't drinking, so we admitted he didn't like it and she took away while removing from the bill. He remarked he didn't like the botanicals they added to it. - Rack of Lamb (Special): Requested to be cooked on the rarer side, and it was perfection! My boyfriend let me try first bite, and I'm normally not a fan of lamb but this was decadent! Love the rosemary jus, and it was the best tasting lamb I've ever had! My boyfriend was over the moon, and as Gen Z says "no notes." - Pollo Marsala: Love the flavor of the Marsala wine in this as it was not subtle like some you get at other restaurants. Very rich flavor, and juicy chicken to pair with the pasta and veggies. Loved this dish and it was the catalyst for us making a reservation the next day. - Limoncello Cake: I was so full, but took one bite and it was very delicious. My boyfriend adores lemons and lemon items, and throughly enjoyed this. What We Ordered (Night Two): - Bruschetta: The night before we ordered Caprese, and we wanted to also try the bruschetta. It was decent, but much prefer the Caprese as you can put onto the bread they serve. In fairness, I usually choose the option that has cheese because cheese is amazing! - Clementine Spritz: Another dinner, another Clementine Spritz! - Limoncello Spritz: Our server and I were talking about how I'm in my spritz era and asked if she could make a limoncello one and she said yes. It was luscious, but I think the Clementine had a better flavor. - Fettuccine Bolognese: This was my boyfriend's dish, and he mentioned that it was no rack of lamb like the night before! He said the depth of flavor wasn't quite there, and perhaps the bolognese could simmer for longer to develop more flavor. - Prawn Pasta (Special): I was intrigued by this special and wanted to try a more pasta forward dish. The server mentioned red pepper flakes for some heat, but I didn't really taste it. Still overall, a good shrimp pasta dish. I'd go back to Pollo Marsala if we return in another trip. Both nights, we had excellent service. I loved that night one our waitress offered a breakfast recommendation that we tried the next day and loved. Our waitress and even the staff member who brought us bread recognized us when we returned the next night. What service! Also, we loved the coziness of the dining room, but it was bigger than we thought as it wraps around. Definitely our favorite dining experiences in both Strawberry and Pine. Check this place out!

The atmosphere is cozy and romantic with soft lighting and classic Italian music, and the service was warm and attentive. House salad and fresh bread were a nice touch to start. This place is a real gem in Strawberry. Highly recommend making a reservation. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Each time everyone has been super friendly, going above and beyond to chat about some of their favorite things to do around this area and/or chatting about whatever topic we land on.

They can play satellite music of your genre taste, drop some coins in their jukebox, or even have a tablet, phone, iPod, or etch, they can play YOUR PERSONAL music even; over their indoor/outdoor surround sound speakers. This place is well lit and so clean. They have 2 pool tables right as you walk in the front door and shuffleboard too. As well as the classics they also have a 1/2 player PAC-man machine. Clean and private restrooms are a THUMBS UP!! As far as beer and spirits; they have all the Top Shelf and about 30 different flavors in Top Shelf Smirnoff Vodka Alone, bottled and canned of most domestics and common imports. They even have a Domestic Tap with 8 different favorites: even Stella :). As for their specialties or seasonal, they ALWAYS have a great appropriate selection always at least 6 to choose from. The owner even makes homemade BISCUITS & GRAVY every Saturday and Sunday mornings, fresh each morning! They are always so involved with the community and have great relationships with other bars and saloons in the area. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN HAVING EVERY AVAILABLE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAUGE GAME(S) PLAYING (as per available by t.v. provider) ON AS MANY AS ALL 4 OF OUR FLAT-SCREEN T.V.'S WITHOUT REQUEST. The Spur Bar really knows what they are doing. They have a huge outdoor space to entertain with. Actually a couple different spaces outside. In the winter time they have a wood stove burning in their Arizona Room which allows smoking. If your a smoker or just love sitting outdoors this is a great commodity with a customer controlled flat screen. The wonderful thing is that in the Spring and Summer their AZ Rooms breaks down into a GORGEOUS smoking potion with a cute little bar slab with tools and 4/5 great little tables witty 1-4 settings available at each. Besides this on the perimeter that is directly connected is a HUGE BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT BIG fenced in "backyard". It is so well thought out and the layout is so spacious, flattering, and accommodating. They have a wonderful shrubbery and foliage which makes it beautiful and comfortable, a decent covered band stand, basketball hoop, corn hole, hotshots, and even a fire pit in the cold months, that converts to giant flowerpot through the spring and summer months. Thought it couldn't possible get any better, gentlemen I am pleased to say their is even a outside complete stall urinal in the back for you animals (men). As for food, they have a great southwest BBQ Join that is accessible through the bar, the back yard, or its own little seating in the front parking. They have handicapped spaces available in the front as well as a large private parking lot around the back of the bar as well. As far as relaxation on a small town Saturday Afternoon/Night, this cool little joint it the nail on the head and really delivers!!

We ordered a double smash burger with bacon (an extra $2 charge) along with tomatoes, lettuce, and onion. The burger arrived with no bacon and none of the listed veggies. We also ordered a triple smash burger with cheddar cheese and tomatoes, lettuce, and onion -- again, none of the veggies were included. We also ordered a mashed potato bowl with chicken, corn, and brown gravy, but there was no brown gravy in it at all. Even though a lot of our order was missing, I will say the food itself still tasted good. The biggest issue, however, was the customer service. The young girl working there, who looked to be around 16 years old, was extremely rude and snotty. When I asked for plastic utensils, she replied, "We do not have any." I asked how we were supposed to eat mashed potatoes and gravy without utensils, and she shrugged and said, "Ma'am, we are a bar, we do not have it." I responded that I've ordered takeout from many bars before and they always provide plastic utensils. She then sarcastically replied, "Good for you, have a nice day." I tried speaking with who I believed was the manager (he nodded when I asked if he was), and while I was explaining the issue, the young employee continued interrupting and talking over me. Another waitress overheard the conversation and quickly returned with plastic utensils, proving they did in fact have them available. The employee then changed her story, saying she "didn't know" if they had utensils and claimed she was super sweet to me(not rude). There is no reason an employee should be speaking to customers this way. She clearly needs additional customer service training before handling customer interactions on her own.
